The likelyhood that both people went on the internet to describe the same event in roughly the same format with similar specifics of phrasing (eg. "hooked her finger in my Pyrex dish") in the same order is very low. It's likely one is a directly based on/inspired by/referencing the other. That's how plagiarism is detected, and how people behave on the internet for internet points. You'd have to do more digging to figure out which one was first.

Similarly any given story on a forum, especially ones with clean narratives and high contrast characters, is likely just creative writing and not completely true. Some include enough details and evidence to make it plausible, and there's enough cases of authors owning up to their posts being an outlet for creative writing, so who knows. But with this one, the heightened gender and social outcast fantasy with an antisocial twist, reads like an average misanthropic 4chan poster doing some misogynistic daydreaming. But again who knows. Just applying some healthy skepticism and reasoning.

I mean, it's usually safe to assume no when it comes to greentext, but who knows. Definitely both of them aren't real.

Actually they're wrong to do it

Maintain your relationships, in person as much as possible. Find or give yourself small projects you can do to improve your immediate environment and circle.

It's important to maintain a support network and a sense of control.

Such is life: outrage leading to a singular end.

It's a gentle push so the ball rolls for a second before falling off the edge of the table and bouncing away on the floor.

Ball Color: Bright red

Pusher Gender: Masculine

Pusher appearance: Caucasian, Tan suit, head was out of frame

Ball size: Tennis ball sized, but smooth with a seam around the middle

Table appearance: A square, short end table on a white studio backdrop. Dark wood with a glossy coating.

The important question: I can confidently say every question I already knew and was just describing what I was seeing, with the exception of maybe the pushers clothing. After reading the question my focus shifted to it and it visually resolved and I described it. Looked and felt almost the exact same way that you might not notice the details of an object in your peripheral because the focus of the scene was the ball, and then at a prompt, shifting your gaze and taking note of that object at the edge. It was framed like some kind of ball demonstration physics video.

Why not label the ports and cables with:

  • 10Gb/s
  • 2.1Amps
  • 1080p at 60hz

It's future proof and doesn't need a decoder manual other than basic literacy. It can be in whatever language the fucking keyboard is. If you want to be redundant but even more clear:

  • Universal Serial Bus -> (this hole right here)
  • Speed: 40Gb/s
  • Power: 2.4Amps
  • Audio/Video: 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 30Hz

Any gender is necessarily an identity function, checkmate (I'm not numerate)
